The numbers in this sequence increase by 40 each time 30, 70, 110, 150. The sequence is continued with the same rule. Which number in the sequence will be closest to 300?

Respuesta :

The value in the sequence closest to 300 is 310

Arithmetic Sequence

Arithmetic sequence is a sequence where each term increases or decreases by addition or subtraction of a constant term

the first term a = 30

common difference, d = 40

which term is closest to 300 we solve like this

300 / 40 = 7.5 say 7

the 7th term, T7 is solved by

T7 = a + ( n - 1 ) d

T7 = 30 + ( 7 - 1 ) 40

T7 = 30 + 240

T7 = 270

checking for the 8th term to confirm the nearest

T8 = T7 + d = T7 + 40

T8 = 270 + 40

T8 = 310

therefore the 8th term is closest and the value is 310
